Yes my car is stock. And hell no to giving up racing! Dude I didn't shift in to 2nd manually. If I do pull it into a lower gear I automatically shift up to avoid shifting it in the next gear myself. I know that will tear up a tranny. And I know my LT1 had no problem taking out the gt's any day of the week. I even stayed with one that had xpipe, CAI, and gears. She got me by half a car from a 40. So I know I fucked up the race but I'm racing him again either tonight or tomorrow and I'm gonna make sure it's a good spot for me. For real though his car was the quickest gt I had seen. But I'll let ya'll know how it goes in the 2nd race. And please try not to hound me too much I feel bad enough as it is losing to one of those cars with the LS1.

Oh yeah...I killed him from a stop if you didn't notice me saying that in the first place. And it didn't take me YEARS to master my auto MeentSS02.

Yeah, looks like you forgot to take it before this post too:

It is pure physics...smaller engines = more power, plain and simple. End of argument.
Good thing I got in be 'fo da on that one,

Thats crazy because my 98 camaro has no problem staying in first when I manually shift it from first to second just like you I shift early but it still stays in first.
